Cao Cao could not really unite with Liu Bei and Sun Quan, and Liu Bei and Sun Quan would not really unite with him.

It is said that it is a united state, but now when fighting, everyone will suffer losses, which will easily make others get a bargain. So, we use the united state to give everyone a step, and we will stop the troops and wait for an opportunity.

"Zhongda's words really made the lonely man suddenly open." Cao Cao praised Sima Yi.

Yang Xiu next to him turned black. Sima Yi performed well in front of Cao Cao, which made him beat him by Sima Yi, which made the proud Yang Xiu unacceptable.

"Zhongda, this matter is left to you to handle."

After thinking for a while, Cao Cao ordered Sima Yi: "You go and discuss with Liu Bei and Sun Quan first. Ten days later, I will take people to Wulin to meet them."

Although he agreed to go to the meeting, the specific matters still need to be discussed carefully by the subordinates of the three parties and come up with a charter.

"Prime Minister, subordinate..." Yang Xiu wanted to go too.

He didn't want Sima Yi to show off himself, but Cao Cao obviously had other arrangements for him.

"Dezu, you go back to Xudu."

Cao Cao ordered Yang Xiu: "You and Zijian go to Youzhou."

Cao Cao wanted his son to try Liu Zhe's son-in-law. Even if it didn't work, he would have to disrupt the situation and not let Liu Zhe live so easily.

And once the matter here is completed, he must return to Xudu to take charge. If Liu Zhe calls, he can still take the emperor... to run away.

"Yes." Yang Xiu was depressed, but he could only accept the order.

...

Wulin is a stretch of hilly area, located on the north bank of the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River turns a bend in the Baling area, flowing from south to north, and turns from west to east near Jiangxia.

Perhaps it was because I turned two turns, and the Yangtze River water was particularly calm in the Baling to Jiangxia area.

There are multiple ferry crossings in this area, including Wulin, Chibi, Shiyang, Hanyang, Xiakou and other ferries standing on both sides of the Yangtze River.

The opposite shore of Wulin is Chibi. After Liu Bei entered Jiangxia, he burned all the ships at the ferry of Wulin Chibi and other ferries, so when Sima Yi arrived in Wulin, he looked up and looked into the distance and saw no ship that could cross the river.

However, a stretch of hilly areas, without trees, made Sima Yi more sure that Liu Bei and Sun Quan were sincerely united with Cao Cao because there was no way to plant ambush here.

And here, there are already people waiting.

"You must be Sima Zhongda?" Two groups of people came up to us.

Two groups of people, one of whom was about the same age as him, wearing white clothes, feather fan in his hand, and a gilded scarf in his head. He was carrying several guards behind him. However, one of the vicious guards attracted Sima Yi's attention. The occipital bone behind this person's head was much more prominent than ordinary people, which made Sima Yi take a few more glances.

Another middle-aged man looked much older than them. He was tall and handsome, wearing a black Confucian uniform, wearing a silk scarf, a kind appearance, and a very easy-going smile, which made people feel good about it.

Sima Yi didn't have to guess who it was, and Sima Yi knew who it was.

It must be Zhuge Liang!

Liu Bei's military advisor was a guy who once caused Cao Cao to suffer several losses.

Cao Cao expressed his intention to recruit Zhuge Liang more than once in front of Sima Yi and others. His boss praised his opponents for his ability more than once. He wanted to recruit opponents, which would have a great blow to his subordinates.

Although Sima Yi's mind became gloomy as he grew older, Cao Cao's actions also made him very upset.

When Cao Cao praised Zhuge Liang, his desire to recruit Zhuge Liang, wouldn’t it mean that these people are useless and are not as good as Zhuge Liang?

So, he hated Zhuge Liang's smile that was in control of everything.

Especially Zhuge Liang looks even more handsome than him, which makes him even more unhappy. The little face and other things are the most annoying.

In contrast, the middle-aged man who smiled gently next to him made him very pleased with him at first glance.

The smile on Zhuge Liang's face was a confident smile, but this smile made Sima Yi hate it.

"Zhuge Kongming, I have met Mr. Sima." Zhuge Liang bowed to Sima Yi and bowed.

"In the lower house, Lu Su, Lu Zijing." The middle-aged man also bowed to Sima Yi and introduced himself.

Lu Su, is it him?

As soon as he heard Lu Su's name, Sima Yi immediately had information about Lu Su in his mind.

Lu Su is now Sun Quan's military captain, helping Sun Quan to counsel military affairs (similar to the Chief of Staff in later generations).

However, there are rumors that Sun Quan did not like Zhou Yu. During his attack on Jiangxia, he asked Zhou Yu to be in the rear and specially asked Lu Su to command the navy to attack Jiangxia with him.

There are rumors that Sun Quan once wanted Lu Su to replace Zhou Yu in command of the Jiangdong Navy, but Zhou Yu's status was too high in Jiangdong, and the matter was left unresolved.

Sima Yi dared not underestimate Lu Su, he was Sun Quan's confidant.

At the suggestion of Lu Su, Sun Quan once captured Shiyang, Hanyang, Xiakou, Sanjiangkou and other places, forming an encirclement of Jiangxia.
